Prayer for the Workplace: The Last Great Frontier

By Lana Thormodsgaard and Barbara LaChance

Mark was a successful businessman, who wanted to learn how to pray. He was a leader in his church longing for a deeper relationship with God through prayer. We met one evening in my office.I started by having him tell me about himself. After a while I suggested that we stop pray and invite the Holy Spirit to come and lead us in our conversation. He agreed. At a certain point I asked Mark to sit comfortably and put his hand face downward on his knees and just remain silent. In that position I asked him to release all of his daily stress to God and then remain quiet in a listening mode. After about 30 seconds he started praying, thanking God for his family, me, his job, whatever. I quickly asked him to be quiet and listen to what I had to say. Three times I repeated, "Trust not on your own understanding; acknowledge God in all your way and he will guide your path" (Proverbs 3:5).After a few minutes I saw tears running down his cheeks, "O my God!" he said. I asked what had happened and he responded, "God spoke to me! 'He said I was a good son.' I knew it was God. I have never heard the voice of God before. Do you mean that this is prayer? I just have to be quiet? Why hasn't anyone ever told me about this before?"This book is about helping people like Mark, and others who want a deeper relationship with God. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned prayer person, this book has principles for how to partner with God to exercise your authority in extending God's Kingdom.Our prayer for you is that by sharing here what we have learned and experienced over decades of prayer, Holy Spirit will help you grow in your prayer life and through practicing prayer you will grow in your heart's desire for more intimacy with our heavenly Father.
